Kenetrek return policy???
« on: January 22, 2012, 02:50:30 PM »
I have a pair of kenetrek mt extreems and I love them I bought them in July at Bobs sporting goods in Longview. I can't find my receipt and they started leaking while I was in idaho in nov.  I love the boots I wore them on my sept elk hunt and never had a single sore spot on my feet. And all of deer season. Just wondering how kenetreck is about replacing boots cause they leak. I know several people who have had there's for years with no problem so this must just be a freak thing??

Call them and explain your story. I'm sure they will take care of you. They have replaced boots for friends.

Never had any of my pairs leak. Where is the leak at? I take it you didn't freesole the seams like they suggest? They do have a very good return or exchange policy
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I didn't feesole them because it never said anything about doing that to them in the stuff I got with them. The rubber around the toe on my left boot is separating.  I have never dried them by a fire only on a low heat boot dryer! I use a gortex approved grease. I don't know?? Just hope I can get a new pair!

Do as sky suggested, and freesole your next pair.

I have had mine for five years, great boot. Sent them into have them resoled, fix a small tear. They fixed the small tear and resoled them and sent them back to me all for $100.00 dollars. They request you to send them to a repair shop near the distribution/ outlet location, think the name was Carters boot repair, don't quote me. Mine have finally have been starting to leak a little around the lace grommets, but very minor after all these years and abuse. Never ever had a boot last this long and maintain it's waterproofing this long under the conditions I put them through.  :twocents:

It's goopy black stuff in a tube that you apply around the whole rubber seam of the boot that works wonders.

I have a buddy that returned his for the same reason.  Quick turn around, and he did get a new pair.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Sweet. I gotta get some of that. I'm assuming it's not just a Kenetrek thing?

Is there a brand name for the black goopy stuff in a tube? Where can we get it?
Can't we all just get along?
